Candy looking lights, of green, red and blue,
Glisten amidst the dull, aching autumn night,
Cold hands rub together, fingers all blue,
Leaves fall to the ground, save for but a few,
Scary faces in the dark, serve to give fright,
Orange orbs of candle light, sneering too,

As folk of young and old, sit by the fire,
An elder tells a fable from days gone past,
With baited breath they wait, never to tire,
Gasps of horror cut the air, like barbed wire,
But those that come, enjoy the night, what a blast!
As witching hour strikes, people retire,

Night of All-Hallows coming to an end,
Costumes packed away again, until next year,
Vampires, ghosts and goblins, we all pretend,
Goodbye Halloween, night of fun and fear.
